Datadog Alert Triage Agent with OpenClaw
What this agent produces is short, factual and formatted identically every time. The hardest judgement has been designed out of it: it counts, it quotes, it names a first place to look, and it operates nothing at all. That is a good fit for a straightforward harness, and OpenClaw runs hosted with Datadog reads and one Slack channel connected.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.
[Triggered] api-gateway 5xx ratio above 2%
TriggeredError ratio 7.4% over the last 5 minutes against a 2% threshold, evaluated across 34 of 36 gateway pods. Triggered 14:07 UTC. Tags env:prod, region:eu-west-1, version:2026.8.4.

Why OpenClaw for this agent
Counting is not opinion
Whether thirty four pods or a single host is alerting is a fact the tools return. The most valuable line in the note needs accuracy rather than insight.
It cannot touch the fleet
No muting, no resolving, no restarting, no scaling and no rollbacks. An open harness with no operating permissions is a small risk to accept on an on call channel.
Before you fork
Does it triage alerts that fired before we connected it?
No. It starts with the next monitor that fires, so an incident already in flight gets no note retrospectively. If you want to see how it reads your alerts without waiting for one, run the staged alerts that ship with the template, including the no data flapping monitor, which is the case most triage handles badly.
